Chapter 112: The House and the Maid

In the cabin, Song Li lowered the curtains and quietly ordered to sail.
The old servant went out to pass a message, because the ship was not big, so he quickly set up an anchor and slowly set off.
At this time, the young men and women on the dock had just finished saying goodbye, and one of them left with a deep foot and a shallow foot.
The remaining woman, wrapped in a cloak, watched in the snow for a long time before returning to her boat in a daze.
"Xing Xingshou is really affectionate and righteous to the Shen family." The old servant glanced far away as he passed the deck with the tea, and said to Song Li after entering, "It's cold and cold. Not to mention, Wen's family said that as long as she is willing to go to Dongchang Mansion, she can mention her money, but she still came to Jining."
Knowing the details of Xing Xing's head, he secretly sighed, and said, "The rosy face is fate, and he is also a miserable man."
Xing Xingshou originally did not have his surname Xing, but his surname was changed after he entered the trade after the madam.
After being an official in the early days, the reason why he left Houlan was in the final analysis that his father and brother stood on the wrong team during the battle of Jingnan.
In other words, there is nothing wrong with her family.
For the sake of that loyalty, I would rather bear the price of the ruined family and the family of women living in the land of fireworks.
Just like the one who was punishable by the Ten Clan.
The master and servant of Song Li didn't dare to approve of this kind of integrity, but he didn't produce any disgust, and he was not without sympathy in private.
If Xing Xingshou's family were not so stubborn to the end, the status of this girl might not be below Song Jianiang.
"These thoughts are in vain." Song Li said while touching the tea bowl, "Shen Stealing Blue is the right arm cultivated by the Shen family for the emperor's eldest grandson. The Shen family will never let him have anything to do with the blood of criminal officials."
The most important thing is, "Shen Thielan knows this very well, and has always kept the boundaries. Even if Xing Xing travels all the way to open the river, he will dance to the open river to attract high-profile guests... Yu Wei Jining and Kaihe will consider and take care of some. If you want to talk about other things, basically there will be nothing."
There was a bit of sadness in his eyes, "The ancients said that outstanding children are like Yushu Zhilan, they all want to grow in their own courtyard. It's a pity that although I have seen more Yaohuaqi grasses in these years, my courtyard is full of ordinary flowers and plants. Now the righteous daughter who has been easily recognized is also outstanding, but she may not have the same heart with me."
The old servant was very surprised, and said, "The filial son in the family is honest and filial, is it a mere flower and grass? As for the one you only recognize... Does the master have such a high evaluation?"
"A sixteen-year-old girl is helpless." Song Li said mockingly, "but I have a lot of grievances with Dingguo Gongfu and Dongchang Gaomen. In this case, I, the Shangshu on the spot, proposed Recognizing her as a righteous daughter, but still daring to ask for justice to her father and brother, it shows the friendship and courage. If my daughter is half as intelligent and sensible as her, does it need me to worry so much?"
He sighed, "Let’s check the grievances between Wen Jia and Xi Jia, what is going on?"
The old servant promised and comforted him: "Since Miss Xi is a clever one, as long as the master takes care of her next time, are you afraid that she will not appreciate the true faith of the master? Then you will naturally be treated as a filial father. ."
I thought about it and reminded, "Since the master admires Miss Xi, those maids who asked us to bring us to arrange in the house?"
Those maids were specially selected by Song Li's wife, Jiang, who was Song Jianiang's biological mother. One can imagine what attitude he would have towards people who upset his daughter.
So the picks were all the thorns in the Song Mansion, one more than a hob, which deliberately added to Xi Fuwei.
These Song Li and the old servant knew everything in their hearts.
Earlier, he ignored it because Song Li had never expressed his attitude towards Xi Fuwei.
Now that he shows his affection, of course the old servant has to change.
"No." But Song Li shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "So few slaves and maidservants, I can't help this girl."
Seeing the old servant, he didn't seem to believe it, he sighed slightly, "Although the girl is not of high birth, you think she can escape from Dongchang Mansion with her nephew all the way to Yanzhou Mansion... just relying on the momentary sympathy of Tan Lan? ?"
"She killed people on the way, more than one."
Song Li said lightly, "Otherwise, just because their aunt and nephew are so good-looking and don't have a bit of strength, how could they walk so far intact?"
Killing is actually nothing to their masters and servants.
Those who came to the point of Song Li, not to mention the amount of blood on their hands, the scene of bleeding and drifting was also so knowledgeable and numb.
It must be known that ten years ago was the battle of Jingnan.
However, considering Xi Fuwei's growth experience and gender, as well as the performance of the other party during the meeting on the boat, the old servant could not help sighing: "It's a pity, if this lady is a man..."
"She and Wen Xianyun are a little bit different because they don't mean that the family doesn't enter the house." Song Li said, "These unmarried couples are very scheming. In the final analysis, Xi Fuwei lost in the family world. Xi's family is better than Wen's family. The difference is too far! If there is not much difference between the two powers, she may not even need to flee with her nephew. I am afraid that Xianyun has been entangled with this fiancée during this period of time, and I am afraid that he regrets a little. He is not a person without vision. , I should know that if such a girl is subdued and is in the same heart with him, the help may not be under an ordinary noble girl."
The old servant tentatively said, "Although Wen's family has long since sought refuge in you, the daughter is closer to you after all."
"Things that are too easy to get always don't know to cherish." Song Li said slowly, "Although I am not that stingy person, according to Xi Fuwei's level of suspicion, you think I promised her various conditions as soon as I came up. Really treat her like a daughter, what would she think?"
Before the old servant answered, he said, "She will never be grateful, or even if she is so touched on the surface, she must be wondering if I want to kill her... Is Wen Xianyun and Xi Fuwei both young, there is nothing that can't stand it after a few years."
Thinking of the concubine selection in the East Palace that his son and daughter-in-law complained about before leaving, the corners of his mouth twitched, "My biological daughter and granddaughter are actually not enough to be granddaughters, but this girl has that qualification. But after entering the palace, the variables are too big. Let her have some feelings with my Song family, let's talk about it when the reaches a certain level."
"Don't you mean that your majesty doesn't seem to want to choose concubines from the important officials?" The old servant was surprised, "and Miss Sun failed to enter the palace..."
Song Li said indifferently: "I didn't think so much, but Xi Fuwei just said that Chen Qianlan deliberately recommended her to the princess. Although Chen Qianlan meant to let her go to the princess's other children to do it. Female officer, but as long as you enter the East Palace, everything is possible, isn't it?"
...Xi Fuwei didn't know the calculations of her adoptive father, she took the things and walked out of the pier with Chen Qianlan with difficulty, and was ordered to stand there and wait for a while.
After a while, Shen Pi Lan called a carriage and let her sit back by herself: "I have something to go elsewhere."
"My lord, Mr. Song, oh, my foster father gave his subordinates a house and let them live there, saying it was for the sake of the Song family." Xi Fuwei hurriedly stopped him, "Because the subordinates had already refused once. , It’s really hard to decline his kindness anymore."
When she said this, there was no happy expression on her face, even a little irritable.
"Really?" Shen Qianlan knew that Song Li planned to recognize Xi Fuwei as a righteous daughter, and the reason, but he didn't know that Song Li would give this righteous woman a house, and said, "Where is it?"
Xi Fuwei looked for the deed letter from her sleeve: "Said it is not far from you, and there are several maids already inside."
She found the deed and showed the address to Shen Xiaolan, pursed her lips, and whispered, "My lord, the maid of the Shangshu family...I'm afraid that the subordinates won't be able to stay here, can you ask the adults to accompany them? "
"..." Shen Pilan thought for a while before saying, "Then go."
They arrived in a carriage together. In order to avoid suspicion, Shen Pilan sat on the cowl with the coachman, which made Xi Fuwei a little bit embarrassed, but this person said, "Since you are the righteous daughter of Master Song, and Miss Song Jia It seems that they are also noble ladies. The Song family and the Shen family are Shiyi, and it's not that I didn't drive the car for the world sisters."
Xi Fuwei hurriedly explained that she was different from Song Jianiang. The two of them swayed in the wind and snow for a long while, and finally Tan Lan became a little impatient: "You are polite, the time has come. Do you want to help? Otherwise, I just go back to myself?"
So Xi Fuwei put her skirt into the carriage.
The house sent by Song Li is actually similar to the one that Chen Qianlan lived in, but the courtyard is more spacious, and there is a small garden with a rockery on the side. In this season, everything is depressed, and there are not many colors, but a few plum blossoms. It's very spiritual.
Before entering the garden, people can smell the cold scent in the courtyard.
This house seems to be deserted for a while, the railings, doors and windows are relatively old, but the furniture is still complete.
It was the few maids who had been sent by the Song family in advance, who were very negligent.
When Xi Fuwei and Shen Qianlan arrived, they knocked on the door for a long time before someone kicked and opened the door. After opening the door, they interrogated like a thief for a long time. This is still when Xi Fuwei showed the deed. .
After letting them in, he asked about the identity of Tan Lan.
Xi Fuwei was a little annoyed: "What does it have to do with you? The adoptive father said he asked you to come and serve me. I haven't asked your details yet, but you asked me about it?"
The maid looked at her slantingly, trying not to smile: "Yo, miss, what are you angry with the slave and maid? The slave and maid are not for your good? After all, you were only the daughter of a rich man before, and our master is in charge. Madam, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry! Can the rules of the Shangshu Mansion be compared with that of the rich man? Is this what the noble lady of Yingtian Mansion should be like, can it be some of the female family members you have met before? , I don’t think that your biological parents are gone, and the old lady is not around now. You are not strictly controlled. If something goes wrong, your face will be small and the reputation of Shangshufu will be affected. "
"..." Xi Fuwei didn't look at her, but at Shen Dulan.
Shen Pilan looked ahead and said lightly, "I haven't heard of any special rules in the Song family."
The maid snorted, and she did not speak at a glance, probably guessing who it was. Seeing Xi Fuwei's gaze became more and more disdainful.
"Subordinates understand." Xi Fuwei understood that Shen Pilan's words were implying that there was a difference between master and servant, and there was no need to be held down by this maid.
After she knew it in her heart, she ignored the maid's muttering, looked back and forth for a while, and thanked Chen Qianlan for his company.
Shen Pilan said, "Do you still have something over there, do you get it yourself or let someone send it back to you?"
Xi Fuwei said: "This side is too old, so I have to clean up. I'll go back there for a while, and when the spring snow melts and there are more people working, I will hire some to sweep and repair it, and then move over. stop."
"The river crossing will start soon, and your majesty will inevitably spend all of Shandong and Sakon's corvee." Shen Qianlan reminded her, "I guess there will be no one to do these things by then."
Xi Fuwei said that she knew that she would pay attention to the time, but she thought in her heart, I really moved here when I was stupid!
